new dwarf rabbit seems to have lost equilibriam and is lethargic

Question
Can you help me with a new baby bunny.  He seems to have no energy and is lethargic and seems to have lost his equilibriam.  He is not alert and jumping around like he normally does.

Answer
Dear Julie,

Please get the baby to a good rabbit vet IMMEDIATELY.  I cannot help you over the internet with what he needs, which is probably subcutaneous fluids, and possibly rabbit safe antibiotics.  For that, he needs the immediate attention of a good rabbit vet, whom you can find here:

With a baby rabbit, time is of the essence.  Please make sure the vet knows this is an *emergency* and life threatening.  I hope he makes it.
